<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Eating Gluten-Free with Emily A Story for Children with Celiac Disease ISBN#1-890627-62-3 Ph. 1-800-843-7323 www.woodbinehouse.com www.amazon.com Written by Bonnie J. Kruszka and Illustrated by Richard S. Cihlar Eating Gluten-Free with Emily is a children's book that not only explains a gluten-free diet, but also details Emily's digestive symptoms and the route from doctor to blood draw to scope to get the diagnosis. The illustrations are colorful and cute. The story, which is told from Emily's perspective, explains celiac disease in a way that children understand, and gives examples of what foods contain gluten and which ones do not. Emily also explains how she deals with real-life situations, like camp and birthday parties. My favorite line in the book comes from Emily and her mom when they question restaurant staff: "We say, 'We are gluten detectives. Answer the questions, please.'" This book has been helpful to my family in two ways. My five year old daughter is autistic, and has been on a gluten free/casein free diet for four years, and it has given her twin brother and older sister a perspective of what a special diet is like for their sister. Additionally, my elder daughter is about to see a pediatric gastroenterologist, to rule out (or in?) celiac disease. This book has given us a wonderful opportunity to talk about the process of going to the doctor and making dietary changes. Seven year old Mikalea tells me she thinks this book is good because it shows that Emily is just a regular kid who needs to eat special food. -Bridges4Kids Review by Penny Ray Best Regards, Bonnie Kruszka, Author of Eating Gluten-Free with Emily http://woodbinehouse.com/synopsis.asp_Q_product_id_E_1-890627-62-3_A_.asp _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
